Sometimes people just don't want to talk. It's as simple as that. It's one reason I don't like staying in shelters and hike alone. I like being alone. I don't like answering a million questions. I...

I wonder if she ever found someone..;)

A few more pics..The best way to experience Harriman..

I'm a solo female hiker and camp up at Harriman all the time. In fact, I just came home from doing an overnighter up there. Weekends are probably the worst time to go. The parks and the shelters are...

The 'Inn' at Afton! :eek: That place is still alive? Someone should put it out of it's misery.:datz I stayed there in 2006 with my daughter when we attended a Jeep Jamboree about 20 miles away. It...

I have all these things, except I went with the BA Copper Spur UL1. I'm a small person (5'2") and it's plenty roomy for me. Easy to set up/pack up and love the side door.

I swear by the Jetboil....

Picked up 2 of these today for hiking and work. Wanted something light and comfortable that dries quickly. They are very soft. Doing an overnight BPing trip this weekend so I'll be checking it out....
